Healing that heart

It hurts to love. It’s sad but often true. You give your love to that person and in return you receive rejection. Someone you deeply trust betrays your love. Or, perhaps someone tells you he doesn’t love you anymore. Yes, love or the loss of it badly hurts. In fact, a broken heart can sometimes hurt so badly you never want to open your heart to love again.

But you must remember this, the greatest love of all is waiting for you to open your heart to Him. He loved you even before you were born. With his love, he will never let you down. He loves you like the way you are. And he has big dreams for you.

The love of your life is God, and there is only one thing standing between you and Him. Your sin.

All of us have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. Yet God loves us and wants to offer a new life of hope. He wants to free us from sin, walk with us daily through good times and bad, and give us eternal life with Him.

To give us this ultimate gift of love, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. God proves his love and while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

We receive a gift by faith alone. And by Grace we are saved through faith, and this is not from ourselves, it is God’s gift. Not from works, so that no one can boast.
Faith is a decision of our heart, demonstrated by turning toward God and away from sin.

If we are choosing right now to believe Jesus died for our sins and through Him receive a new life filled with unconditional love, say a prayer, accepting Him and thanking Him for our new life.

Out of the blue?

I leave the house
I catch the bus and go to work the way I always do
The same routine most everyday except
I guess I see my olds much more often
Years has passed I thought by now I could make a new life of my own
But I’ve been taught so hard to break I think of you and I still ache
It may take longer to learn to live alone
It’s really bad when Friday comes I know the weekend lies ahead
The watch we make at the football games
And when it rains how we stay in bed
I have done so much to change the house
The attics that is full of memories I’ve known
And yet when I turned off the light
I will wait for you to say goodnight
Now I tried go on dating
But when I do I always find the further night is through
The same old thing behind that smiles
I am comparing him to you
And in the end its always you I feel
Even more when I get home
I thought that I was free of you but I was wrong
I never knew it take too long to learn to live alone
